I know I bought a better lock for my door and loaded up the shotgun at the prospect of the anarchy an RDBMS-less world would bring...thanks for putting things back in perspective for us all. Now I'm off to buy a new pair of pants. Damn you slashdot and your scare tactics!
A good answer is sea turtle reproduction 'works', even though out of 100 sea turtles born, maybe two or three make it. Do you want to be up to your ass in baby sea turtles? See, capitalism works.
Yeah, I also liked how with Red Baron you could fly the old EIII's and then compare them to the much more sophisticated DVIII's. It was also cool how the fragile wings on the early Nieuports ripped right off if you overdid a turn (giving some nice warning creaks first).
I'm looking forward to this one as well, the screenshots are amazing, but we will have to wait until Q4 of 2004 to see it according to the article (of course this probably means hopefully it comes out in 2005).
Linus really can 'play the game' when he needs to. Unlike Darl's letter (or even Perens' and ESR's) his is very brief and to-the-point, the sort of thing that could play well in the mainstream media (if it gets coverage).
That it's condescending and funny is great, too. Here's hoping it gets some play in the outside of/. world...
As a Native American, I gotta say I don't get all that hyped when the U.S. signs a treaty...

Excellent point. Any time Darl opens his mouth, you can hear about it on various financial sites, but you probably won't hear Perens' and Raymond's response except here on slashdot in the 'Amen corner'.
Bring back the kid with the toad in a jar, I liked his show and tell better.
You are so right, though, this review reminds me so much of kids in 5th grade copying the back cover text of a book they read, then submitting it as a book report.
Dr Laura sites Leviticus when admonishing homosexuality, although Leviticus also calls for the death of those that have 2 different crops in the same field or where their clothing is made of 2 types of material.
I'm a live and let live guy myself, but really, how can you look at someone with clothing made of 2 types of material and not think that is GROSS?!?!?!
No, the Boston comment goes to show I was being facetious.
I could care less about accents, I've been in the tech or science world for years, and met folks with all kinds of accents, pretty much understood them all, even the New Englanders and people from The American South. It just takes a little effort and patience, that's all.
I was just defending the person you responded to and his point. When you call tech support because people are screaming at you, patience may be in short supply.
Anyhow, you seem keen on making assumptions about people and patting yourself on the back for that, but at least you aren't a xenophobe. sigh. Whatever, chief. Keep on Dukes Of Hazzarding guesses about people and stuff.
That was a cheap shot. In something like support, being able to communicate effectively is essential to doing a good job.
Inability to speak English properly or speaking with a thick accent compromises quality, whether the person in question is from another country or just from Boston.
Eh, I don't think so. It's quite common for someone to look back on something they've created, and notice all the flaws and things they could have done better.
I could care less about WiFi. The guy who does the fries needs to take care of that nasty rash on the back of his neck, and they need to open more than one register when there's about 15 of Cletus the slack jawed yokels kin milling about angrily waiting to place an order.
They take care of these things, THEN it's time to bring in the gadgetry.
Napster is like the evil monkey paw from that Simpsons episode. Any company that buys them or messes with them is DOOMED. Even as a brand, it's worth about as much as a truckload of old iXL stock certificates these days. At least you can burn those and it will generate some heat.
Slashdot Mirror
You're right, in a little blurb inside every issue they explained that, that is in fact how they chose the name.
Maybe Hatch only wants to destroy the computers of people sharing his music. In which case I can't really argue against that plan.

Sounds like you know when to hold them, when to fold them, when to walk away AND when to run.

I thought it had something to do with 'baiting' someone, no, guess not.

Hell yeah, if those music industry types put their money in the bank instead of up their nose, they'd have nothing to worry about.

What's really cool is when a squirrel climbs up to a transformer and the thing explodes. Damn terrorist suicide squirrels.
Don't forget the iCybie, a knockoff of Sony's Aibo (iBo?) dog...
Goatse.cx joke triggered by the phrase 'expands YOU' in parent post.
I thought that too, but if his personality prevents him from reproducing, at least it has that going for it...
And they noticed this why?
A panhandler announced the termination of a passersby's right to wear pants in public when the man refused to pay him a $1 'pants tax'.
